La Gomera VIP Tour Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is This The Best Way To Visit La Gomera From Tenerife?
Small group max 18, fast ferry from Los Cristianos, and an official guide. You spend more time exploring and less time waiting for a big coach.
Is La Gomera A “Must-Do” From Tenerife?
If it’s your first time on Tenerife, explore Tenerife first. When you want a second island in one day, this VIP small group tour is the best choice.
Why Do Bloggers And Tour Sites Push La Gomera So Much?
Because many La Gomera tours are higher-priced, they often bring higher commissions. We keep it honest: great trip for quality seekers and repeat visitors, but not a must for every first-timer.
What Days Does The Tour Run?
Tuesday and Thursday only. Seats are limited to 18, so book early.
Where Is Pickup And What Time?
Pickup in Costa Adeje, Las Américas, Los Cristianos between 08:20–08:50. Staying in the north or outside the area? Meet at the Fred. Olsen ticket office (Los Cristianos port) at 09:00.
Do I Need Hiking Gear?
No. This is not a hiking tour. Short, easy paths in Garajonay are fine with normal shoes.
Is Lunch Included?
No, by design. We stop at a local restaurant so you choose what you like. Prices in La Gomera are friendly, and quality is better than a fixed “menu for 50.”
What’s The Group Size And Why Not A Big Bus?
Max 18 people. Big buses (around 50) mean long hotel rounds and slower stops. Small group = faster logistics and more views.
Can You See Dolphins On The Ferry?
Yes, there’s a good chance during the Tenerife ↔ La Gomera crossing. Sightings are common but never guaranteed.
How Do Payments Work?
Adults 145€ (pay 40€ now, 105€ on the day). Children 3–11 130€ (pay 30€, then 100€). Every 3rd person in one booking gives 10€ off the total.
What Documents Do I Need?
Bring a passport or EU ID for the inter-island ferry. Without it you cannot board. If you arrive without valid ID and miss the tour, this counts as a no-show under our terms. Your deposit is not refunded, and the remaining on-arrival amount is still due. Please double-check IDs for everyone in your booking before pickup.
What If I Cancel Last Minute, Don’t Show Up, Or I’m Sick?
Short answer: no refund, and the remaining on-arrival amount is still due for late cancellations and no-shows. This is an exclusive small-group tour with limited seats. Only exception: if you provide an official doctor or hospital letter stating the named traveler cannot attend, we can review a waiver for that person only. It does not apply to the whole group. For exact timing and fees, please see the Policy section on this page.
Is This La Gomera Trip New? Why Haven’t I Seen It Before?
Yes. This La Gomera VIP Small Group Tour is a new option we began offering in mid-September 2025. Depending on when you’re reading this, it may still be relatively new. It runs through a small network of trusted partners, so you won’t find it with every agency. That’s also why places can sell out quickly. If your date is full, check nearby dates or contact Club Canary for alternatives.
Can I Join This La Gomera Tour If I Am Already Staying In La Gomera?
Yes. Guests staying in La Gomera can join the VIP tour for a special 95€ direct-arrival price. Simply meet the group at 10:45 at the San Sebastián bus stop. No hotel pickups on the island.
Is This Really The Best La Gomera Small Group Tour?
For people who want fewer crowds, fast logistics, and real viewpoints, yes. No big coach, no long pickup rounds, just a smooth island tour with an expert guide.
How Much Time Do We Spend At The Main La Gomera Highlights?
Expect easy mini-walks in Garajonay, a photo stop at Roque de Agando, and relaxed time in San Sebastián. No rushing and no long waits for large groups.
Is This La Gomera Day Trip Good For Families?
Yes. Only short, easy walking. Families love the small-group comfort, the minibus, and the flexible pace.
